034 - Greenkeeping for Dummies - the right way (and wrong way) to get quicker greens...

Golf Badgers

Bledge and I started this podcast to whitter away about not much in particular, meet some interesting folk, and share the odd bit of insight into the greenkeeping and architecture that underpins British golf.

We are always so humbled by the number of you who tune in to the pod, and especially those who write in to ask questions or simply offer some feedback.

In typical Badger fashion, we blunder around trying to re-introduce one another, mainly for the benefit of some of our more recent listeners. While many of you work in the industry, we are always mindful a growing portion are 'normal' golfers (if such a thing exists!) with a growing interest in the subject. Perhaps you're a recent addition to your club's green committee, or just someone with insomnia looking for something to fall asleep to.

If either of these things is true of you, we hope this episode will be of particular interest. This is aimed squarely at those who want an intro into the subject matter. What is greenkeeping, really? How does it affect my golf course? Why can't we just cut the greens really short, and expect the greens to be perfect all year?

As ever, there's more to the subject than first meets the eye. We hope this will get you thinking and, if it does, please do write in to us at [e-mail] to give us another topic to cover in a similar way.

Thanks again for listening, and please don't forget to share us with your friends (or, enemies).
